in the last couple of days on npr and elsewhere, the president has talked about doing some tax reform. well, that, those conversations i think are pretty serious, maybe more serious than he let on. and i'm not sure they made any decisions. i take them at his word at that. but i think there have been pretty serious decisions about exactly how to do some big tax reform among republicans and democrats. there have been some other really big conversations that are going on. about really fundamental welfare state reform. no big decisions but the atmosphere has totally changed for your basic public policy if are you sitting out there in the brookings institution this is like a superexciting time. because things are being fundamentally talked about, the question will be can the president force these private bipartisan conversations beyond the crust of partisanship so it actually comes out in public and we can have these conversations. and that's why i think this week was a good week. because he really has broken through some of the partisan crust, cut a deal, made a lot of people unhappy, up

he's senior correspondent for "the national catholic reporter" and senior vatican analyst for cnn and npr. i'm pleased to have him on this day. tell me where we are and where you think this is going. >> i think we have to understand this at two levels. on the one hand, you've got a mushrooming sexual abuse crisis gripping the catholic church now in europe. first exploded in ireland. it's now sort of achieved massive proportions in germany. it's also beginning to open up in a number of other european countries-- austria, switzerland even some cases in italy itself. at that level it in some ways is early reminiscent of the scandal of the catholic church in the united states a decade ago in 2002, 2003. the new wrinkle this time is that the german crisis in particular has been linked directly to pope benedict xvi in the sense that what is now around microscope are his five years as the archbishop of munich from february '77 to may of '82. and then also his 25-year track record as a vatican official. so the question being asked is not merely about the church's corporate response to the crisis
